behavioral patterns

...offspring values and parental values. The slope of this line reveals the heritability of the behavioral trait in that population. For example, the heritability of the calling behaviour that male crickets (
Gryllus integer) use to attract females has been measured. In any one population, some males chirp away for many hours each night, others call for just a few hours, and still others...

characteristics

field cricket (also called the black cricket) is common in fields and yards and sometimes enters buildings. The house...

mating behaviour

Further experiments carried out by Regen on
field crickets (
Liogryllus campestris) demonstrated the reactions of females to chirping males. In the most elaborate of these experiments, 1,600 sexually receptive females were released around the periphery of a large enclosed area in the middle of which had been placed a cage containing one or more chirping males. Precise data concerning the...
